Dr. Akira Kakugo and his group from Hokkaido University in Japan despatched us a video presentation of his latest paper ‘Cooperative cargo transportation by a swarm of molecular machines’, printed in Science Robotics.
‘Despite the advancements in macro-scale robots, the development of a large number of small-size robots is still challenging, which is crucial to enhance the scalability of swarm robots,’ says Dr. Kakugo. In the paper, researchers confirmed it’s potential to collectively transport molecular cargo by a swarm of synthetic molecular robots (engineered methods with organic/molecular sensors, processors and actuators) responding to mild.

was awared his PhD in swarm robotics on the Bristol Robotics Lab in 2020. He now fosters the tradition of “scientific agitation” to have interaction in two-way conversations between researchers and society.
